Student Complaints

The University of Dallas is committed to treating all students fairly and respectfully.
The University's policies that apply to students are published annually in the UD
Bulletin and in the UD Student Handbook. These publications are available online on
the UD website. In an instance of perceived violation of a University policy, a student
may file a complaint. The student complaint policy provides two avenues for pursuing
a complaint: an Informal Resolution Procedure and a Formal Resolution Procedure. The
procedures are described on the UD website https://udallas.edu/studentcomplaints Students may utilize either or both procedures.

Informal Resolution Procedure

The student arranges a meeting with the person involved with the complaint and/or
with the direct supervisor of the person involved. For example, a student who believes
an unfair grade has been given on an assignment should meet with the faculty member
who assigned the grade. In this example, the meeting with the faculty member may be
followed up with a meeting with the department chair or the original meeting might
be with the department chair. Another example would be a complaint in the Business
Office involving the Bursar. The student would meet with the Bursar and/or the Director
of Finance.

If the informal process does not resolve the complaint, the student may utilize the
formal complaint procedure.
